Mancini‘s leather goods shop was founded by Tito, a saddler working in the town of Ascoli Piceno, when in 1915, he decide to move his entire family to Rome to seek his fortune.

Initially, for want of better premises, Tito opened a small shop under one the arches of the Theatre of Marcellus, which at the time was still buried up to its second arcade.

Following excavation work to clear the monument in its entirety, the shop was moved to its present site where four generations of Signor Tito’s descendants have since succeeded in carrying on the family’s tradition of leather craftsmanship.
